Resources

This is where you can find links to information, research, resources and ideas on autism and parenting. Anything I find relevant, helpful, and valid I will share with you! I hope to eventually have enough resources pulled together so that you can find everything you need here in one place.

Our Favorite Interventions:
You might not recognize all of these as "interventions" technically speaking. This is because my kids and I find "interventions in all that we do. Of course, the usual speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc. are always recommended. But included in this list are some ideas you may not have necessarily heard of before, but I feel that they benefit my kids on many levels.
PLAY Project (Play therapy)
DIR/Floortime
Riders Unlimited, Inc. (Equine therapy)
The Incredible 5-Point Scale
Pop-Up Adventure Play
PECS
